NASB
"Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?"
— Ecclesiastes 7:17, NASB
“Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?”
“Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? ”
“Don't be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before your time?”
“Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool; otherwise you might die before your time.”
“Be not over just: and be not more wise than is necessary, lest thou become stupid.”
“Be not evil overmuch, and be not foolish. Why come to your end before your time?”
“Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?”
In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider-- God has made the one as well as the other So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.
I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
Do not be excessively righteous and do not be overly wise. Why should you ruin yourself?
Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them.
Wisdom strengthens a wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.
